Very seriously: Do yourself a favor and try out a real PaaS like Heroku sometime. Running a real, production-ready system on Heroku is truly as easy as "git push", and the concepts are way, way simpler to understand. It's not going to be the right fit for everybody, but as far as just pure devex goes, it's truly excellent.
- zerkten 5y agoPeople have mentioned here that a Heroku-like layer would be incompatible with k8s. Based on the description of k8s as a distributed OS, I don't understand how to reconcile these things. I'd want to deploy a k8s infrastructure, but have an easy experience on top for developers that might not maximize k8s use initially, but allow devs to move down a layer eventually. The whole time the ops folks would be running k8s and limited layer above that'd keep devs in a particular lane. Isn't this feasible?
- q845712 5y agoI think several companies are trying to sell exactly that. if you look up VMWare's "TAP" offering it's attempting to provide a wide umbrella of components that move in that direction. Others in the space include Redhat, Replicated, Rancher. A few individual components that try to bring back the ease of rapid/easy deploys include: Flux, Tilt, Argo, kapp-controller. They all have slightly different priorities and make different compromises, but anyways just to assure you there's quite a few people trying to build and sell the layer you're describing.
